Microsoft Office applications don't open when Fasoo is present

Technical Articles ID: KB91111
Last Modified: 2022-03-02 14:38:31 Etc/GMT

Environment

Endpoint Security (ENS) Threat Prevention 10.x
Microsoft Office
Fasoo Enterprise Digital Rights Management (DRM)

Problem

When ENS Exploit Prevention is enabled and the third-party software Fasoo is present on a system, Microsoft Office applications don't open. Examples of Microsoft Office applications include Word and PowerPoint.

Cause

The Fasoo software injects third-party DLLs into ENS processes, and ENS doesn't support the Fasoo hooking method.

Solution

To allow the Office applications to open without any issues, use one of the following options:

Disable the Fasoo Enterprise DRM Add-In.
Create an ENS Exploit Prevention exclusion, for example:
- Type: Illegal API Use - Buffer Overflow
- Process Name: office16 apps
- Process File name or path: c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\&.exe
- Process Signer: Click Enable digital signature check
- Process Signed by: C=US, S=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, OU=MOPR, CN=Microsoft Corporation
